متن کاملThe anatomy and physiology of pain
Pain is an unpleasant experience which results from both physical and psychological responses to injury. A complex set of pathways transmits pain messages from the periphery to the central nervous system, where control occurs from higher centres. Primary afferent pain fibres synapse with second-order neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Ascending spinothalamic and spinoreticular tract...
متن کاملBasic anatomy and physiology of pain pathways.
This article provides an integrated review of the basic anatomy and physiology of the pain processing pathways. The transmission and parcellation of noxious stimuli from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system is discussed. In addition, the inhibitory and excitatory systems that regulate pain along with the consequences of dysfunction are considered.
متن کاملInvestigating and managing chronic scrotal pain.
Few data are available on the true incidence of chronic scrotal pain and most figures relate to post-vasectomy pain syndrome. However, a crude incidence of 350-400 cases of chronic scrotal pain per 100 000 men per year has been estimated on the basis of a questionnaire among Swiss urologists. Data on the impact of scrotal pain on quality of life are lacking. These patients are challenging to bo...
